Throughout his entire life, Saint John Bosco was blessed with a photographic memory. In fact, when was a young man in high-school, he could finish his studies with astonishing speed, so he had much free time left over to devote to saving souls. He met a young Jew named Jonah in a bookstore and they became fast friends. In this episode, we will discuss the young saint's efforts to convert the boy despite being violently chewed out by his mother.

@arielelijah1282 John bosco looks like a teacher who I had in elementary school. Unfortunately that teacher wasn't a believer. He taught us Greek mythology. But he was a good teacher who I enjoyed a lot.

Take heart then, it means Jesus is carrying you. If at times your burden of your cross seems to get too much at times do what I do. I’ve suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since my teen years so live with constant pain and fatigue but some times/days it truly feels like it is too much to bear and that is when I cry out to Jesus saying I can’t cope at this moment, it’s too much and my pain is agonising (I’m usually in bed in tears at this point) and say Simon of Cyrene helped carry His own cross for a bit and please come and bear mine just for a bit so I can hold it up strong again. Within minutes I get comfort and can drift of for some sleep and I wake up refocused and able to cope again. Other times I have important things to do that I can’t put off but don’t have the energy and pain seems constant so I ask the above also. Do try it Jesus is just waiting for you to ask Him

@@irishandscottish1829Thank you God bless! I pray 3-5 times a day. I have grown old with the Lord. He has been sealed in my head since childhood. My dad passed away Sept 16 this month. It doesn't even feel real. I keep reading his text messages we sent each other. He was 67 and had lung issues, in and out of the hospital for a while. The Lord called him home. The last two years we were really close after my car wreck. In 2021 I almost died in car wreck. I was on the interstate headed to work when another car hit me going over 100mph. My car flipped 6 times. Luckily I was wearing my seatbelt. But my leg needed to be completely reconstructed. Well it didn't go so well. At first it did but my stitches came lose and my knee and couldn't stitch back over my bone and required plastic surgery. That didn't work either. In the meantime my knee locked up from not bending for over 1 year and now it may need amputation. Along with my foot that has no function basically anymore. I haven't walked in 2 yrs. Recliner to wheelchair is the routine. Losing my dad crushed me more than anything. He believed in his heart that Christ was the Son of God. Please ask God to take care of my dad. Thanks ✝️❤️🕊️

Just happened upon your channel and subscribed… after watching today’s Return To Tradition with Anthony Stein (who has in occasion also related stories of Saint John Bosco). As a mother of four sons, I have often prayed for his help and intercession. I will add an intention for you and your channel! 🛡️🔥⚔️📚🕊️

And when he got older, he was afraid to go to sleep because of his intense dreams or demonic activity would keep him awake. Truly a man of suffering.

Why is the boy’s mother referred to as the ‘town witch’ (given that she was Jewish, rather than worshipping nature or the devil)? Was it perhaps a pejorative based on her caustic demeanor?

@coriesu9022 9 ай бұрын

7:55 He said the Jewish community called her "the witch" because of her appearance, not so much her demeanor. She wasn't an actual witch involved in the occult.

before Vatican 2, the Church believed differently about Jews being saved

@donboscostories 5 ай бұрын

The Church doesn't change. It's either the One, True faith, or it's not. A council can't change the whole reason that Jesus walked the earth - i.e. to fulfill the Old Law. It is possible that they can save themselves, for no one knows what's in a man's heart. But once they have sufficient knowledge of Catholicism, they must convert. Otherwise, St. Paul would've never converted: there would've been no need. Why would Jesus die on a cross? For an optional path to Heaven? It wouldn't make any sense.

@@donboscostories it cannot change, therefore what Francis is doing shows he is not Christian. The last several popes have been freemasons; you can find photos of them doing secret handshakes etc

Good episode, but the title is misleading. She only *looked* like a witch, but was not an *actual* witch. I keenly dislike and disapprove of this sort of behavior that has taken over the media of today. It’s rampant dishonesty, in order to get clicks. Not directing that last half at this channel, just venting a bit, as this really bothers me. Ok, ok, end rant. On to the next John Bosco video now. ☺️

@donboscostories 4 ай бұрын

Her own people called her "the witch." I don't know what more you want. Are you calling me dishonest? Or the book of biographical memoirs dishonest? I have no idea why you would rant on a saint's channel, it's really not the place. I never wanted clicks, if I did, I would upload puppy videos or something. Keep in mind, another thing that's rampant in this world is lack of charity and common politeness.
